Scheduled transactions for re-invested investment income (Q Mac)

martianewell

Just converted from Windows to Mac, investments only, and went through my first month end. Good so far. I wanted to set up all expected income as scheduled transactions. Works fine for dividend income. Can't see how to do it for reinvested income. Is that missing or am I not finding it? Granted, the info would change each month, but I want the scheduled transaction which I'll have to modify. Thanks.

In investment accounts, you can only create scheduled transactions for cash transactions. You cannot create scheduled transactions for any investing activities such as reinvestments.

You will have to manually enter (or download) these transactions each time.
